Final answer:

The molecular geometry that does not have a tetrahedral electron geometry and a trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry is trigonal planar.

Step-by-step explanation:

The molecular geometry that does not have a tetrahedral electron geometry and a trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry is trigonal planar. In a trigonal planar molecule, the central atom is surrounded by three bonded atoms and has no lone pairs of electrons. It has a flat, triangular shape.
